The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) prayed for the new Pope, expressing his hope that Leo XIV's pontificate would be a beacon of hope in these challenging times. He further stated, "May your reign be marked by fruitful engagement, inter-religious dialogue, and the furtherance of service to humanity."
